I have three dogs: a poodle, a black lab, and a long-haired dachshund. Two out of the three shed like crazy, and up until now I've resisted the FURminator purchase, primarily due to cost. Well, I've just ordered a second one because the one that arrived today worked so perfectly, I don't ever want to be 'without' again!
I took my lab and the doxie outside to try it out. Good choice... the hair was flying everywhere in very short order. The FURminator is well made, sturdy handle with ridges to prevent slippages of your hand while using it. The Large size is great as it allows for long, wide strokes on the sides and back of the dog. I don't think this would be a good choice for small dogs with shorter bodies though. Maybe a medium or small sized one?
The FURminator does tug at the hair (very small metal tines) and getting the right angle, making sure the hair is clean and free of knots or burs, is important for a successful grooming session. I wouldn't use it on the long hairs of the dog's tails or ears, but for body work, it's as good as it gets for bringing up that pesky undercoat that likes to drop out throughout the spring and summer months. I look forward to seeing how it works for the long haul at reducing overall shedding.
Both of my dogs seemed to not mind being groomed by the FURminator, unless I spent too much time in one area. There is mention in the small insert in the package about causing 'red spots' if you go over an area too much. Again, it appears to tug out the hair, and it would be unpleasant to have that in one spot over and over again.
The hair comes pouring off the dogs, even after brushing them with a traditional tool. I'm very impressed with the FURminator and if used gently, your animals should be happy with their next grooming session and you will be happier with less hair on your carpet, couch and clothes! |

| Works as advertised. The smaller size 4" is more than ample for my mid-sized dogs. Both have very different types of fur, but it works effectively for both. Just need to make sure you do this outside, go slow, and be careful with "thinner" dogs or very furry ones prone to matts (one of mine is like a greyhound build) since if you're not careful, you'll be pulling the metal toothed edge over ribs and/or spine which your dog will not appreciate, or grabbing a matt (my other very furry critter) that can't effectively be removed by any brush/comb. |

| This really takes the hair off the cat. I have other brushes but this is the only one I use now. I go outside and get them in the yard and let the hair blow away. |

| This product works really well. It doesn't hurt the animal at all, it just takes the undercoat of the hair off the dog before they shed it. They need to make one like it for cats. I don't have top sweep as often everyday now to pick-up the hair left from my dog and I notice less left in his bedding and my vehicle. The Product is great and easy to use. |

| The tool has worked very well on our black lab/St. Bernard mix. I use it about 1 -2 times per week, and he likes to get brushed with it. |
